Cyber Security Professional

Category: Digital & IT Location: Ballerup, Capital Region of Denmark, DK Cyber Security Professional Ballerup Your impact begins here As Cyber Security Professional in Security Architecture, you will help turn security requirements into practical designs for the technology and manufacturing environments Novo depends on. You will support architecture reviews, identify risks and recommend improvements that are proportionate and usable. Working alongside experienced architects, you will build on your technical foundation and take on broader responsibility as your experience grows. Your work helps colleagues make sound security decisions while innovation keeps moving. What you’ll bring

• You hold a bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity, information security, computer science with a cybersecurity focus, or a closely related cyber discipline. You also bring:
• 2–3 years of relevant professional experience in cybersecurity, infrastructure, cloud, systems engineering or a similar technical role.
• Practical experience in one or more relevant areas, such as Windows or Linux servers, endpoint security, Active Directory, network security, Zero Trust architectures, cloud platforms or manufacturing systems.
• A sound understanding of core security principles, including least privilege, secure configuration, segmentation and defence in depth.
• The ability to analyse technical problems, document your findings and communicate recommendations clearly.
• Good collaboration skills and professional proficiency in English.

We do not expect expertise in every domain. We are looking for someone who can apply an established technical foundation, ask thoughtful questions and grow into broader architecture responsibilities. Useful, but not essential:

• Cybersecurity qualifications or certifications, such as CompTIA Security+, SSCP, Microsoft security certifications or equivalent.
• Exposure to industrial cybersecurity, AI security or security architecture.
• Familiarity with standards such as ISO 27001 and IEC 62443.

What you’ll do Your work will span servers, endpoints, Active Directory, Zero Trust Security Architecture, Manufacturing Security, AI and cloud platforms. You will bring hands-on experience in some of these areas and develop your knowledge across the others, with support from colleagues.

• Support security architecture reviews of new systems and changes to existing ones, identifying risks and recommending proportionate, practical improvements.
• Contribute to security reference architectures, design patterns, standards and technical guidance that others can reuse.
• Work with infrastructure, application, cloud and manufacturing teams to embed security into solution designs.
• Support the design and assessment of Zero Trust Security Architectures, including network segmentation, secure access, and access decisions informed by identity and device security.
• Assess security considerations for emerging technologies, including AI services and applications.
• Document design decisions and explain security recommendations to technical and business stakeholders.

You will take ownership of defined tasks and progressively lead smaller architecture assessments as your experience grows. Who you’ll work with You will join the Security Architecture department within Cyber Risk and Resilience, part of Enterprise IT & Quality. In Enterprise IT & Quality, colleagues work across the Novo value chain, staying close to stakeholders and helping deliver trusted technology, high quality and responsible ways of working. Day to day, you will work alongside experienced architects, and with infrastructure, application, cloud and manufacturing teams. Security Architecture helps Novo make sound security decisions across technology and manufacturing environments, giving colleagues across the organisation clear direction, reusable designs and practical advice that support resilience and innovation. What you can expect here You will join a developing function where you can contribute ideas, challenge established approaches constructively and help shape how we work. You will be trusted with ownership of defined tasks from the start, and supported by colleagues as you deepen your expertise across new domains such as Zero Trust, manufacturing security and AI. As your experience grows, so does your scope: you will move from supporting reviews to leading smaller architecture assessments, building a broader architecture skill set along the way.
